Best paper award for Dennis Philipp

In June Dennis Philipp presented his recent work on the relativistic geoid at the special session on "Relativistic Metrology” at the 2017 Metrology for Aerospace conference in Padua, Italy (D. Philipp, V. Perlick, D. Puetzfeld, E. Hackmann, C. Lämmerzahl, Definition of the relativistic geoid in terms of isochronometric surfaces, Phys. Rev. D 95, 104037, 2017).His talk and the contribution, which was one of 110 paper contributions to the conference, was awarded the “best paper presented by a young researcher” with a certificate and an exclusive silver plaque.

Poster prize for Melanie Vogelsang

For the poster "Analytic Pulsar Timing Formula" Melanie Vogelsang was awarded with a poster prize at the 558. WE-Heraeus-Seminar: "The Strong Gravity Regime of Black Holes and Neutron Stars". Melanie Vogelsang is a PhD student of the RTG "Models of Gravity" at the ZARM, University of Bremen.

Prof. Daniel Grieser, who is an associated member of the RTG Models of Gravity, was honored for the successful implementation of the highly innovative didactics and the sophisticated scientific background of the module "Mathematisches Problemlösen und Beweisen" (mathematical solutions and proofs), which is a forwarding component in the early semesters of the bachelor studies of math at the Carl-von-Ossietzky University Oldenburg. The ars legendi faculty prize for math and science was awarded for the first time this year and it honours professors for their extraordinary dedication and high professionality. It is proclaimed in the four categories math, biology, chemistry and physics.

The talk Distorted Five-dimensional Electrically Charged BHs by Dr. S. Abdolrahimi was nominated for the Springer-Karl-Schwarzschild Prize at the junior scientists´session of the first Karl-Schwarzfeld Meeting on Gravitational Physics, Frankfurt a.M. Germany, July 22-26, 2013. This meeting aimed to bring together specialists and rising young researchers to foster new conversations and collaborations. Dr. Abdolrahimi is a PostDoc at the RTG "Models of Gravity" at the University of Oldenburg.
